South Dakota beat Houston Baptist tonight to win the inaugural Great West conference championship, in a game that had absolutely no bearing on the NCAA Tournament. Just thought we'd pass that along.
In games that actually matter:
Kansas won the Big 12, as 69 of us said they would;
Vermont secured the automatic bid from the America East conference, much to the delight of 27 of us;
UC-Santa Barbara, picked by 48, won the Big West;
Ohio, predicted by nobody having anything to do with the contest, took the MAC;
Houston, also considered only by people who didn't enter a pool (and probably not very many of them) won the day in Conference USA;
Sam Houston (chosen by 65) beat Stephen F. Austin in the battle of 19th Century Texans also known as the Southland conference;
Morgan State (predicted by 73) took no prisoners in the MEAC;
Arkansas-Pine Bluff (taken by Booth, Brindisi, Canning, DaLauro, ME Donadio, Harlan, D Kedson, E Leach, Missy Peloso, Sakowski, R Wanger, and Merril) played their best hand to win the SWAC;
West Virginia (liked by Canning, Crotty, D Kedson, Templeton, and Tester) emerged victorious in the Big East;
New Mexico State (envisioned by Baum, S Leach, and R Perry) stunned overwhelming favorite Utah State (61).
Washington (wanted by M Josephs, D Kedson, S Leach, and Tester) pulled through in the Pac-10; and
San Diego State (guessed by Baum I, Baum II, and Freidhof) climbed to the top in the Mountain West.
In tomorrow's action, it's Duke (picked by 64) vs. Georgia Tech (picked by no one) in the ACC; Kentucky (58) vs. Mississippi State (Baum I, Baum II, Cohan, D Kedson, R Perry) in the SEC; Ohio State (45) vs. Minnesota (considered by nobody) in the Big 10; and Temple (36) vs. Richmond (15) in the Atlantic 10.
McKillip currently leads the contest with 89 points, followed by J Broder (87) and Missy Peloso (86), while seven additional entrants are right behind with 84. At the other end, Booth (41) is gaining ground on the Leach girls (Samantha Leach (56) and Madison Leach (54)).
Full standings, as always, available through the link on the right.
